Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Explains Their Protest of Canelo's Gloves

My dice pass rigid quality control. Can I roll my dice in Vegas?

That pretty much sums it up.

The diva wants to use an untested brand that he is being using in training. Sounds like him

He even has No Boxing No Life tattooed on his bicep. So I think its his brand (Canelo)

Canelo and his team of cheats never stop with their BS. Imagine if they get caught 1 or 2 times, how many times and how much crap they must do and get away with.

Agree completely, for all his whining Abel actually has a point in this regard. No doubt people will jump to Canelos defence as the golden boy can do no wrong.

as if complaining about gloves that have never been sanctioned in a world title fight is whining..its a legitimate argument and canelo should be in no position to make demands.

But his trainer should just do a better job of training instead of giving him drugs and designing questionable new gloves.

When was the last time we heard a trainer complain about using untested gloves. We have heard that certain gloves that are made by popular brands end up with shifted padding by the end of the fight. But has anyone complained that a glove may tear and give a fighter a breather? Not that they are under weight. Not that the padding is shifted to the behind the knuckle as some have complained about GGG gloves. But that it may tear.

I'm all for using every tactic in the book to gain a psychological advantage. So more power to Sanchez. But do you guys understand what HIS complaint is. Untested....ohhh boy. What fighter is going to go into a fight with a glove that might tear and potentially cost him an opportunity to get a KO or TKO because the glove tore while he was applying pressure.

Lastly, who cares what gloves a slapper wears. GGG said Alvarez punches felt like slaps. Gloves that meet the 10 oz. padding requirements aren't going to change that.

Canelo looking to cheat in some fashion.

whats your point? are u arguing that canelo should be allowed wear his own custom made gloves by his trainer that arent tested for elite level fighting? would this be the same trainer who was a butcher for 15 years and came up with the clen excuse...give me a break

I'm saying that as fans flopping the word untested about is sop****ric. It's a great term to use when you just wanna launch a sound good argument. Weren't Grant gloves at one time new to market? What is appropriate testing protocol? Who determines whether a glove has been appropriately tested?

so u see no issue with his own brand of gloves being used without any stringent testing?

Testing to what standard? Testing how?

If the gloves comply with all rules and regulations that the commission sets forth...what's the complaint? What do the rules say about testing?

All Sanchez is saying is what if they tear and Alvarez gets rest. Couldn't a Grant glove tear?

As long as all established rules are followed...I have no problem.
